Another Waw

[Refuse to quit]

PROGRESS!!
Well yesterday on the exchange with the kids the W asked where I was going to take them. I told her the park. She said she did not want to go. Well I am putting out S in the car and she notices the new car seat that she asked me to get last visit.(I had a booster seat and we found out that he is not yet big enough for it) She made a big deal out of the fact that I had gotten it for him. I told her "I listened to you and know that it is important." That was all I said about it. But could tell in her expression and voice that it was a big deal to her. When getting in the car to leave I rolled down the window so our S could say goodbye to W. First thing he said was "Mom come with us." She said no and then after he asked her again she said "Okay I will come for a few minutes." That few minutes turned into an hour. I never brought up the R or the pending D. Just kept it all on the kids. When leaving I opened the car door for her and told her thanks for comming. Later in the day when I dropped the kids off she acted like none of this was even going on. It made me wonder why it still is. This was the most normal she has acted around me the whole time. Like nothing was going on other than she lives in another place. I felt like this was a huge step. I really hope it continues that she goes places with us so she can see for herself if these things are "real or not." I am ready for her if she decides to retreat a bit tomorrow when we exchange the kids. I will let her go. If not then hopefully things will continue to progress. Thanks for your help guys. I am keeping it up.
